Second D.Q.
by KDO

Comment:
Okay, over a year and half has passed; I am still recovering from an injury and surgery that had me on the sidelines for too long. It seems that almost every brutal thing that life has to offer has come and, for the most part, gone. I am back and looking at this image makes me laugh at myself for my ridiculously intense response regarding the D.Q. of this image.

Ah, to have a life with so little conflict and heartbreak that I would freak out over something so insignificant as a D.Q. in a photo contest...tsk,tsk, tsk.

So, I find myself back here for the joy of sharing a passion for images with others, simply that and nothing more.

Blessings to all who pass this way.

Thanks everyone for your amazing support! You have said such kind things about this image. I really was very proud of it, and I really thought I had done a legal job. The DQ took me by surprise and it certainly knocked my passion for this site and dp down a few notches.

Great capture. I like the composition, the expression on your subject's face, and the wind in her hair. Is this a studio shot? 8

Creative, risky and unique. I like it. I needed the title to understand it, though. Thanks for pulling it together. 9
